Fic: In the Eyes of the Law
Jun. 28th, 2015 07:51 pmTitle: In the Eyes of the Law
Author: writergirl2006 (Dee)
Rating: PG-13.
Characters: Luke, Reid, various Oakdalians, named and unnamed.
Word Count: 1910.
Summary: Marriage equality comes to Oakdale…and the rest of the country as well.
Disclaimer: All fictional characters are the property of their original creators, and I earn nothing for writing about them, so they really shouldn’t think of suing me for doing so. In fact, I think the original creators should be flattered that five years after the show went off the air, their characters were so memorable that people continue to create new adventures for them. I just hope Justice Anthony Kennedy will forgive me for borrowing the last paragraph of his majority opinion for storytelling purposes.
Author’s Note: This story is for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
1faghag, who wanted a drabble written in commemoration of the Supreme Court of the United States’ ruling on marriage equality. From the moment I read the last paragraph of the majority opinion, I knew I wanted to write something based on it. The dissenters took pot shots at the language Justice Kennedy used in the writing, but in my opinion, these people must have hearts of stone. That last paragraph was absolutely beautiful and encapsulated the heart of the matter. As for my offering, it’s unbeta’d and all mistakes are mine. I hope you enjoy it even if it can’t come close to touching the brilliance of that last paragraph.
